As the comments on Youtube say for the video, this appears to be a great video but it's really just a seven minute ad for TradeSkillMaster, which Wowhead does say he's on the team for. The vid mostly talks about how you should be using TSM, and the auction house.

Method and Wowhead are partners so it's not surprising that he advertises one of Wowhead's products such as TSM. I watched the full video and there's no useful information at all. I'll just wait for the next video, the series where he gives actual advice.

Bah, I was hoping for some secret gold earning tips as gold income seems to have slowed to a crawl this exp, but no such luck >.<

Well I have some sympathy... this xpac was designed to remove gold from the game. Nearly everything that used to generate gold, now takes it. You run mission boards and load up on champion items ... you probably won't even get your investment back. Honestly, I think its a shame that most goblins haven't been warning people to save their gold as it just will not be coming easy this xpac at all and Blizzard's intention is to drain out the gold they threw into the game in Legion.

The only tactic to "make big gold" right now is to exploit other players - and as hard as you can. The most exploitative, the more profitable. Sadly, this is the honest truth. For me, I buy up low level herbs all the time and repost them, because if people want to make Living Steel\/Sky Golems, then they need a bunch of transmute masters, and those require leveling 1-300 on vanilla herbs, which I resell at huge profits. I guess the second way to make gold is to exploit the exploiters?

And how weird is it that nearly every real goblin will tell you that an item from MoP is more gold producing than anything in BfA.

Add me to the "heartily and intensely sick of TSM ads very thinly disguised as guides or recaps" group. Sheesh.

because if people want to make Living Steel\/Sky Golems, then they need a bunch of transmute masters, and those require leveling 1-300 on vanilla herbs, which I resell at huge profits. \r\rI have a question about that: Currently "leveling" my alch alt and the transmute master quest only asks for 4 living something bars that are part of Pandaria Alchemy. So is there like another step of the quest that requires leveling 1-300 vanilla alch?

So how do you make those pretty search\/scan options for different stuff (around 5:23 of the vid)?

Didn't watch the video, though I thought TSM was independent from Wowhead \/ Method. At least I never think Method when I think about playing the AH.

tldr:He explains warfronts and how to know what items you need to turn in or to make gold on. (alot of people are on this now so it's very competitive)He explains the increase of ah deposit fees for certain items and the problems around this and how to work around it.He spends maybe 2 min on tsm and lists some fixes and mentions youtubers you should watch to learn how to use it, not the whole vid as claimed.He talks some about flipping certain things. He spends some time talking about the problems with current crafted gear. ie no obliterum upgrade system.

All of this info is very broad which one would expect from a "news" video.

The truth about making gold is that it is hard work and very situational. Different things work on different servers and at different times so you aren't going to find any magic "tips" that will make you rich. If there was a video on wowhead that had a "tip" 1000 people would all start doing it at the same time and it wouldn't be good an hour after it comes out. This is called supply and demand.

If you apply yourself and think you can make gold doing any of the things he talks about in the video.

Here's a tip: Being a serial complainer is going to get you nothing good in life. It's a bad habit so don't develop it.
